Results of the one-stage proximal hypospadias repair with modified Koyanagi technique: A prospective cohort study in a single Vietnam centre.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Proximal hypospadias is the most severe type of hypospadias. Our approach to Koyanagi technique for proximal hypospadias aims to improve the blood supply to the neourethral flaps and reduce meatal complications.

Methods

Our prospective study included 75 patients who were operated for proximal hypospadias by our Koyanagi technique at Viet Duc hospital between January 2019 and December 2020. The clinical information obtained included a detailed medical history; preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data; short-term outcomes by the HOSE score were evaluated by a different physician.

Results

The mean (range) age was 3.59 ± 2.41 years (1.5-14), 86.7% under 5 years old. There are 31 penoscrotal, 31 scrotal, and 13 perineal hypospadias. The length of the neourethra ranged from 3.5 to 8 cm, mean 5.02 ± 0.88 cm. Evaluation of the surgeon at 6 months after surgery: primary success 81.3%. Complications occurred in 14 cases (18.7%), included 10 urethrocutaneous fistula and 4 dehiscence of the urethra. No cases of meatal stenosis or recession, urethral stricture, urethral diverticula. The mean HOSE score was found to be 14.47 ± 1.35, ranged 11 to 16. 57 patients (76%) had a total HOSE 14 and above and 18 patients had score below 14 (24%).

Conclusion

Our modified Koyanagi technique give us a good result for one-stage reconstruction of proximal hypospadias. Applying the HOSE score makes postoperative evaluation of hypospadias more objective and reliable.

Project description:Background Surgical correction of proximal hypospadias is challenging. The complication rate of proximal hypospadias is still high, and the debate over its optimal treatment is ongoing. Duckett’s method is a classic non-staging operation, and two-stage Bracka repair is an attractive alternative procedure. Herein, we retrospectively analyzed the effects of two surgical techniques on proximal hypospadias in order to reduce the complication rates of proximal hypospadias, and analyzed the various risk factors that cause complications. Methods This study retrospectively evaluated 94 consecutive patients who underwent repair of penoscrotal or proximal defects between 2015 and 2019. Patients were assigned to two groups: 46 patients were treated with Bracka and 48 with Duckett. Patient age at surgery, urethral meatus location, and postoperative complications were recorded. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the length and curvature of the penis and the length of the urethral defect. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age and type of hypospadias. In the Bracka group, there was 1 case (2.2%) of meatal stenosis after the first stage, which was restored with ureteral dilatation. After second-stage repair, a urethral fistula was noted in 4 cases (8.7%) and strictures in 2 cases (4.3%). In the Duckett group, urethral fistulas were noted in 8 cases (16.7%), strictures in 4 cases (8.3%), partial glans dehiscence in 4 cases (8.3%), and diverticulum in 1 case (2.1%) postoperatively. Compared with the Duckett group, the overall complication rate for Bracka repair was lower (35.4% vs. 13%, P=0.016). In addition, compared with the Duckett group, children with perineal hypospadias who were treated with the Bracka operation had fewer postoperative complications (100% vs. 13%, P=0.015). Risk factor analysis showed that the initial curvature of the penis, initial urethral defect, and degree of penile curvature after skin degloving were not correlated with complications. There was a significant correlation between urethral defects after correction of the chordee and urethral fistulas (P=0.019). Conclusions Compared with the Duckett procedure, the Bracka two-stage repair may be a safer and more reliable approach for proximal hypospadias in children. The Bracka two-stage repair should be used for perineal hypospadias. The larger the urethral defect after chordee correction, the greater the possibility of a postoperative urethral fistula.

Project description:Ischial avulsion fractures classically occur in the pediatric population and are relatively uncommon. These injuries are treated conservatively; however, in cases where there is greater than 2 cm of displacement, surgical intervention is recommended. In some cases, displaced fractures are either misdiagnosed or proper treatment is neglected, and patients who transition into adulthood are left with chronic nonunions that can become a source of pain and disability. Here we present a surgical technique for a chronic ischial avulsion fracture nonunion that is excised, and the hamstring tendons are then primarily repaired to the ischium using suture anchors. Technique Video Video 1 This is a video for the surgical intervention for a patient with a chronic right sided ischial avulsion fracture. The patient is placed in the prone position with all bony prominences padded. After a standard sterile prep and drape of the right lower extremity, an 8 to 10 cm incision is made in the gluteal crease, overlying the right-sided ischium. Electrocautery is used to reveal the underlying gluteal fascia. The gluteal fascia is incised using dissecting scissors. A Schnitt is used to open the interval inferior to the gluteus maximus muscle, and a large retractor is placed. A sciatic neurolysis is performed. The chronic avulsion fracture is revealed using electrocautery. A combination of electrocautery and a cobb elevator is used to free the bony fragment. After removal, the eburnated surface of the ischium is revealed. A combination of curettes and osteotomes are used to create a bleeding bone bed on the native ischium. Next, two 2.8 mm Q-fix (Smith and Nephew, Andover, MA) double-loaded all-suture anchors are placed into the native ischium. From each anchor, 1 suture limb from 1 pair is passed through the hamstring tendon in a locking fashion while the other is left free. From the other suture pair from the same anchor, one limb is passed in a modified Mason-Allen technique, and the other limb is left free. This is repeated for the other anchor. Using the free limbs of the anchors, the tendon is delivered to the ischium. The corresponding suture limbs are tied, and the free ends are cut with a knife. After copious irrigation a multilayer closure is performed. Dermabond is placed on the skin and a dry sterile dressing. After surgery the patient is made flat foot weightbearing in a hip orthosis and is started on chemical anticoagulation. At the first postoperative visit the wound is evaluated, and an X-ray film is obtained.
